Wasn’t part of the reason they needed pitching due to Sale’s inability to repeatedly take the mound? If Sale pitched like this in 2021, 2022 and 2023, would the Sox still have needed pitching?
-
I like a lot of the city connect jerseys. But I hate those jaundiced abominations. Except that they do seem to lead to wins… -
My (wildly inaccurate?) take, assuming everyone is healthy. Starters will include Giolito, Houck, Bello and Crawford. If they don’t go internal for the fifth spot (Fitts? Priester?), it will be a competent but unexciting free agent like Pivetta, Flaherty, Manaea or Kikuchi. The bullpen will include Hendriks, Slaten, Whitlock, Fulmer, Winckowski, Penrod, Criswell, and likely a left- handed free agent. Preferably Bummer or Chafin. Hopefully not round 3 of Joely Rodriguez…

He’s also only 23. And he was worth 3.2 bWAR last year. I doubt he peaked at age 22. He may never be a so-called ace, but it’s a bit early to pigeonhole him as the Expendable Disappointment…
-
I wanted to ask why but I see it was a multiple choice question…
-
Larry went a (rather large) step further and wanted him to be a minor league depth piece…
-
Always my preferred method, but it’s hard to envision who. Especially if the Sox take all their best trade chips off the market. Crochet appears to be available, and should garner plenty of interest. There’s been no indication Seattle wants to move any young pitching. Houston doesn’t have the advertised starter depth, since Garcia and Javier are likely both out until August. And McCullers can injure himself by reading the instructions on his PT printout . The 2025-26 free agent class has some moderately worthwhile arms with one year left that might be had. Im sure a pitcher or two will change uniforms (probably more). But I also know Boston expects Giolito to be one new pitcher added to the 2025 rotation already…
-
Speaking of Pivetta, in their most recent chat, MLBTR discussed the possibility of a reunion with Boston for 3 years (max). They’re not working with insider info or anything, but if the Sox do sign a free agent SP, I’d expect Pivetta to be on their short list…
-
Crawford pitched 179.1 IP with a 4.17 ERA and is 9-15. Pablo Lopez pitched 179.2 IP with a 4.11 ERA and is 15-9. (1 less ER) If the Sox had Pablo Lopez, would fans want him relegated to the bullpen, too?
-
If KC wins the WS this year, the Sox need to prioritize LHRP Will Smith, who would then establish himself as the Greatest Good Luck Charm in MLB Past, Present, and Future. That he still has a chance to extend his unprecedented streak of 3 straight WS rings with 3 different teams is ridiculous. Plus, bullpen help. That, too…

You need to learn Notin’s First Law of Injury-Prone Athletes, which simply states: ”Players who get injured a lot tend to get injured a lot.” and remember, this is a Law, so it’s irrefutable…
-
Probably, or at least the one Breslow liked the best. Im just saying the trade was not about a 40 man roster crunch. If it was, then Breslow didn’t take back a 40 man player, because that would make no sense. Unless the team having 40 man roster issues was Pittsburgh..
-
You agreed with that? So you’re saying past injuries cannot predict future injuries, but past health can?!?
-
They were 16-14 in Houck starts, and it was the Crawford starts (10-22) that carry the bulk of the bad record. Still, Houck and Crawford (6.3) appear ready to finish the season with more combined bWAR than Burnes and Fried (6.2)…
-
I don’t see the Sox spending what it will take to get Bregman or Torres to Boston. Maybe more like Eugenio Suarez…
-
If you’re talking “ most underrated position in sports”, I nominate the punter. He controls opposing field position, yet most punters are treated like cheap Fungibles that change uniform jerseys as frequently as many of us just change shirts…
-
Since June 9th, Francis has a 2.23 ERA and .532 OPSA…
-
I think you misspelled “Charlie Blackmon”…
-
He could have gotten a non-40 man pitcher for Yorke easily enough. I think he simply liked something about Priester and Pitt asked about Yorke. But as Priester already has a service time clock in operation, he’s not a long term project. If he isn’t trade bait this off-season, he will be starting for Boston next year. The only question is whether or not he does so opening day…
-
He cheated them too?
-
No. If it was a trade to avoid a roster crunch, he wouldn’t have dealt Yorke for a player already on the 40 man roster. That defeats the whole purpose of the trade…
-
You mean like Atlanta did last offseason?
-
Maybe his idea of handling things smartly involved doing his shopping early and avoiding the Christmas Rush? Why else would he get Priester in July? He clearly didn’t do it for August…
-
Both of those teams are 20 games better than the White Sox and neither one is 8-41 against the teams in their own division…
-
Someone in Boston thought it would work when the Sox drafted him out of high school…
